Tonus are boisterous, rhino-like Neopets that love running rampant across Tyrannia, even if they knock things over in the process. They also have large appetites but may tend to overeat if they are not careful.[1]
The Tonu is limited edition, meaning it can only be created on its special pet day, earned from a Magical Plushie, Morphing/Mysterious Swirly/Transmogrification Potion, the Holiday Dream Neopet Giveaway, Species Change Premium perk, or Lab Ray. Formerly, unlike other limited edition pets, Tonus were available to create every time the Giant Omelette ran out, but no longer occurs since the Create-a-Pet page was updated in 2021.[2][3]
Site description: "Tonus can be found peacefully roaming the wilderness of Tyrannia. These cheerful Neopets are known for having fluffy manes and imposing horns in the middle of their heads. They enjoy running rampant and playing ball games, sometimes causing delightful chaos. As expected, they have gigantic appetites that need to be checked." [4]
